RCD Mallorca is facing a goalkeeper crisis. Leo Román's injury, confirmed on Friday, sets off all the alarms because he will miss, at least, the next two games against Betis and Getafe.
What happened?
Leo Román's injury is a blow to RCD Mallorca, as he is one of the team's key players. The situation is complicated for Jagoba Arrasate, who must choose between Lucas Bergström and Pichu Cuéllar to occupy the goalkeeper position.
Why is it important for RCD Mallorca?
RCD Mallorca's goalkeeper situation has worsened significantly compared to last season. Leo Román's renewal was very expensive, which reduced the budget for the second goalkeeper. Now, the team faces a problem in finding a goalkeeper who can replace Román.
What comes next?
Jagoba Arrasate must make a difficult decision for the match against Betis. The option of Lucas Bergström is attractive, as he is a young goalkeeper with potential, but he also has little experience in professional football. On the other hand, Pichu Cuéllar is a veteran goalkeeper, but he has not played an official match since May 26, 2024.
| Player | Age | Games played |

| Pichu Cuéllar | 41 | 205 |
